152162` eitprocessing ` is ready for use in offline analysis of EIT and respiratory related data. Our team
153163is actively working on expanding the features of the software.

157- - more advanced filtering methods, using a combination of Butterworth filters, empirical mode
158- decomposition or wavelet transforms;
159- - automatic detection of respiratory and heart rate from pixel impedance values.

168+ - more advanced filtering methods, e.g., empirical mode
169+ decomposition and wavelet transforms;
170+ - quantification of pendelluft;
